WHILE the gullible masses were standing in line this past weekend to give up their hard-earned money to see blockbuster movies of dubious value, I was one of 10 people watching a 1929 German silent flick at the Anthology in the East Village.

That movie, “People on Sunday,” isn’t playing anymore, but there are still a number of excellent low-profile flicks just waiting to be discovered.

If you read my Sunday column and weekly reviews, you know I’m The Post’s resident expert on foreign and indie-American films.

You won’t catch me at “Lord of the Rings” or “Catch Me If You Can” this weekend – or ever. (I hate Spielberg!)

But did you see the latest from Samira Makhmalbaf – about teachers who roam the countryside with blackboards strapped to their backs? How about that Russian movie shot in one amazing, 93-minute take?
